Port Forwarding

Just received a Route10.
I have a static IP configured on the WAN1 port, and it has been successfully registered.

I have created a few vlans.
vlan 15 (10.10.15.0/24) is assigned default (untagged) to port LAN1. I have a PC attached to Port LAN1 and configured with 10.10.15.11/24.

From the PC I can ping 10.10.15.1, and I can ping out to the internet.

I’m trying to configure port forwarding.

  1. When creating a "Port-Foward/NAT rule, is it also required to add a corresponding Firewall Filter, or is that automatic from the Port-Forward/Nat rule?
  2. I cannot get Port forwarding to work. I am trying to forward requests on the internet hitting port 8006, to 10.10.15.11:8006.

I have what I think should work configured, but I’m still unable to connect to the port, and it also fails telnet.

Any suggestions here?

Welcome to the community! You don’t have to create a corresponding firewall rule. Do you mind posting a screenshot of your port forward rule? We would be happy to help.

Ive struggled with this as well and i cant make sense of it other than maybe the route10 isnt opening the port. I resulted to using the strict upnp mode that worked without issue.

Here is plex before rule, the rule, then after rule. Note on the after rule shot, it sees the external IP but not the port designated in the rule to forward. Though im not sure if the rule is corrent because well theres no documentation from Alta on it.

Same formatting for my blue iris server also fails to be accessible externally.

So this caught me out every time at first as well! Your rule is spot on, but make sure to click on protocols and select “tcp” or “UDP” or a variation of what you need and try again.

Yeah realized I should do that about 5 minutes ago :smiley:
With that said, mine is working now.

Here is my nat rule:

Also as an FYI I know that exposing my proxmox mgmt port is not best practice but I have nothing else on this network yet, and I’m just trying to vet that forwarding is working :smiley:

As far as fixing it; I noticed that the upload and download limits on LAN1 were set to Default. I changed them to none, and boom, the screen refreshed and the interface was connected.

I’m not sure what the default speeds are, or to be honest where those defaults are configured, but in my case I’m guessing default is 0 or disabled…

  • not an issue for me right now but if anyone knows the answer to this, that would be helpful also.

Lol man i feel like im losing my mind. I just hastily recreated the rules so im not surprised i was missing it just a moment ago but, i was testing it for like 2 days at work and was getting inconsistent connections and i know at one point i had both tcp and udp specified on both rules. Now it works first time every time… blue iris is too.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have similar problem, but I found that I did’n enable the DMZ zone. When I enable, all things works.
